There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Number 1, the Nkuhuma Young male was around his natal pride but was still forced out at the age of 2 years old,not 3. He stuck around but was not spoon fed by his pride. He lost his partner and mother and dissappeared for months. How do you know he didnt starve during that time? He returned with less mane than he had when he dissappeared. His body is covered in scars and cuts. The Nkuhuma Young Male might have not had an injury like the Birmingham Young Male but injuries are not the only thing that makes a life harder. The Birmingham Young Male survived because his pride fed him. All he had to do was keep up. Which I take no credit away from him for. On the other hand though, the Nkuhuma Young Male had to hunt for himself many times and was constantly chased off of kills by the Avocas or Hyenas. Belly Scar had 3 brothers and sister he could rely on. The Mbiri Males still had each other to rely on. The Birmingham Young Male had an injury but was still spoonfed by his pride up until now. The Nkuhuma Young Male didn't have that privilege, having to hunt since he was 2 years old and losing his partner and mother. He also had to fight the Avoca males getting into many scraps with Mohawk and showing great courage by standing up to them. I'm not sure you are aware of the Nkuhuma Males rough life. You said he had the standard life of a lion? I'm sorry but that's bullshit. No standard lion had to endure what he did. Even though he was accepted into the Styx Pride this year, he had to take a massive beating to be allowed to do so. He had to survive alot more than just an injury.
Nkuhuma male was born in July 2016 and he was starting to get chased of in May 2019, but in the next few months he was still returning to the pride... So he was around 3 when he start to become nomadic..
But i agree, thats pretty harsh life, but he showcase that he can survive without a problem, he was never seen in bad condition or skinny, he is pretty resilient lion..
